The Colorado Burglar & Fire Alarm Association (CBFAA) is a state trade association comprised of licensed security & fire alarm industry professionals working to protect lives and property through responsible use of electronic security, life safety and integrated alarm systems. We share a common mission with public safety officials to improve the safety and quality of life for every citizen in Colorado.
In appreciation of our first responders, each year the Colorado Burglar & Fire Alarm Association Youth Scholarship Program offers a scholarship to children of active duty law enforcement and fire service personnel in Colorado who are graduating from high school and continuing their education. This program rewards students who have excelled academically and are active in community service and extracurricular activities at their school. The CBFAA winner will be automatically entered into the national Electronic Security Association scholarship program for a chance at additional scholarship monies.
The CBFAA 2024 Youth Scholarship Program is now closed. Check back here in January 2025 for CBFAA's 2025 Youth Scholarship Program.
